Suppose I got myself the newest development build, where can I find the new features or functions list of this version so I can test it?

Hi Blokker, what do you mean by 'new community'? Also, I'd like to know if there is any chance to see a new client version of MTA SA soon. Thanks!

Got it, thanks!

Should I simply use this in any server-side resource, without first exporting it to the client-side part of the entire resource? Do I need to use the "exports" thing in the client-side part of the resource before triggering it using triggerClientEvent?

Hi there, I've got a client-side function that I export to other resources. Everything is fine, until I need this function to be triggered by serverside event. When I want to export this clientside function to clientside resource, I simply use this: exports["text"]:showText("My text", "4000", 20 ) But what should I do if I want to "showText" to "thePlayer", by serverside? function getPosition(thePlayer, commandName) local x, y, z = getElementPosition(thePlayer) local rotation = getPedRotation(thePlayer) local dimension = getElementDimension(thePlayer) local interior = getElementInterior(thePlayer) outputChatBox("Position: " .. x .. ", " .. y .. ", " .. z, thePlayer, 255, 194, 14) outputChatBox("Rotation: " .. rotation, thePlayer, 255, 194, 14) outputChatBox("Dimension: " .. dimension, thePlayer, 255, 194, 14) outputChatBox("Interior: " .. interior, thePlayer, 255, 194, 14) end addCommandHandler("getpos", getPosition, false, false) I want to use my exported clientside function inside the function above. In what way exactly can I do this?

Okay then, I will simply handle a dxDrawText with no text at all ("") and change it everytime by setting a varaiable which stores the text. Then I will create a timer to reset the text ("") and I guess problem sorted out. Sorry for being so LUA newbie.

Nevermind, got this already. However, I tried to make the function that I wanted: function dxText( text, timer ) setTimer ( function() dxDrawText ( .... ) end, timer, 1 ) end addCommandHandler("showtext",function() dxGameText("Text test", 2000) end) But the text shows only after the specificed time and then disappears right away...

All I wanted to know. How do I make a bool parameter inside a function? As far as I see when writing a LUA function there is no need to specifcy whether the parameter is a string ot int, but what when it comes to bool?

I put "outPutFunc("Test")" under onClientRender.

I can actually make it myself, but I don't know why that thing isn't working. Once I know what's the error in the following code, I will be able to make what I mentioned above. function outPutFunc(string text) outputChatBox ( text ) end outPutFunc("Test")

Hi guys, I need a clientside function that creates a dxText using parameters, for example: function dxText(string text, local time) Parameters: string text = the text of the dxDrawtext. local time = the time, in milliseconds for setTimer until the text disappears. Basically, the function creates a dxDrawText for a specified time. Thanks!

Got it. What should I put in the vertical?

Where can I find this parameter?

Hi, so I am trying to draw a dxText on the screen, but the problem is that the screen positions of the dxText are telling where the text is starting from. I want that the screen positions, as in here: dxDrawText("This is a long line in order to present the new text on the screen!", 600, screenHeight - 147, screenWidth, screenHeight, tocolor( 255, 255, 255, 255 ), 1, "verdana", "left", "top", false, true, false, false, true) Will be like that: (http://i49.tinypic.com/2i24oyx.png) Basically, a static text position no matter what's the length of it. I don't want to make a desiered position for each text line, that's the point... Any functions or some kind of help to achieve what I want will be appriciated.

A'lright, I did the trick. However, I am still not sure if I am going to see the same relative position at any smaller / larger screen resolution.
